The Lost Lady of Lone

CHAPTER VII
11/22

And what will I bring yersel', Miss, before ye begin to dress ?" "Nothing; I have had a cup of coffee.

That is sufficient for the present." "Neathing but ae wee bit cup o' coffee, my dear young leddy ?" "No; I have no appetite.

I suppose no girl ever did have on her wedding morning," said Miss Levison, shivering and then flushing.
The housekeeper contemplated her young mistress with growing anxiety.
"I am sure ye are no weel," she ventured again to suggest.
"I am quite well, my dear Mrs.Ross.Do not disturb yourself.

But go now and send Janet and Kitty to me.

I must begin to dress." The housekeeper left the room, and was soon replaced by the lady's maid and the upper house-maid.
"Is my bath ready, Kitty ?" "Yes, Miss; and I have poured six bottles of ody collone intil it," said the girl, with a very self-approving air.
"You needn't have done that," said Miss Levison, with an amused smile, "but you meant well, and I thank you." She took her customary morning bath, and slipping on a soft, white, cashmere wrapper, placed herself in the hands of her maidens to be dressed for the altar.
Janet combed, and brushed and arranged the shining dark brown hair.
